"The 1989-90 Capital Improvement Plan authorized $60,000 for improvements to the Frederick Boulevard Operations Center. Expansion of the Radio Shop has been identified as our highest priority. A study was c~mpleted by the Properties Management Division of General Services with assistance from the Communications/Emergency Services Center to determine the extent of renovations that would be needed. The result of the study indicated that the current size of the radio shop is inadequate to accommodate the shop's workload. In many instances work has to be conducted outside of the building due to space limitations (in all weather conditions). Bids have been received for the %arious components needed to enlarge the shop and a listing of the low bidders is attached for your review. Bid prices total $51,926.66 with an added contingency of 15% to cover change orders and emergencies. I am~recommending the.!appropriation of the~ifull $60,000 authorized in the Capital Improvement Plan and award of the bids to the listed bidders."
